Sootwhisker looked over at her. "I can understand that." He said.

"Does it bother you?" Closesky asked suddenly, looking at the former deputy. "That he became leader and you didn't? Especially after all the seasons you served Northstar."

"Do you have friends in other Clans you're looking to seeing again?" Littlemoon asked him.

Stormfury blinked, not expecting the apprentice's sudden burst of energy. "You should talk to other apprentices at the gathering from the other clans, but be careful. Remember that someday you might have to face them in battle. Be sure not to give away any of ShadowClan's secrets or too much information to other clans. Be polite, but if some nosy apprentice comes asking about how much prey we have, if any of us are ill, anything that could be a weakness, don't give away too much information. The Clans will see us as weak as it is since Northstar passed. As for what cats will be there that's up to the respective leaders, so I'm not sure who you'll see. As for me, I'm excited to see my mother and Eclipsesky, the medicine cat from WindClan." he smiled. "Gatherings are great times to learn the names and ranks of cats in other clans. You can either stay with me at the gathering if you'd like, or you can go off with your littermates and the other apprentices. Either way, I expect you'll be on your best behaviour."

Falcontalon's eyes widened at the sudden change of conversation "I wouldn't say it bothers me, am I disappointed slightly, yes, but I would have been an old cat to ascend in the leader's position now. Cedarstar is much younger and can serve for much longer than I would have been able to. I am happy with my service to Shadowclan and I will help Cedarstar in any way he asks of me."

"I'll be so good, you won't even know it!" Whorlpaw snickered rather happily. "I hope I meet everyone! Could I meet Eclipsesky and your mother too? Were they upset that you left WindClan?"
"That's commendable of you, Falcontalon." Closesky smiled softly at the younger tom. "ShadowClan doesn't quite deserve you."

Stormfury nodded. "Of course you can meet them. I'm sure they would be happy to know I have an apprentice. And of course they were upset. How do you think Starrylight would feel if you left for ThunderClan?" He asked.

Whorlpaw immediately shook her head, her fur spiking like a pine cone. "I would never leave ShadowClan for stinky, copycat ThunderClan!" She shook out her pelt. "Do you think they would like me? Eclipsesky and your mother?"

Falcontalon dipped his head "What about you Closesky, I know when I became deputy, everyone thought it was going to be you."

Closesky twitched his whiskers in amusement. "I remember it well. Northstar wanted to make me her deputy even before Aurablaze, but I declined. I'm a mentor, a teacher. I would rather spend my days leading training sessions with all the apprentices than figure out who should go on what patrol, and when you're deputy or leader, you don't always have the time to train the future of the Clan. I know Cedarstar wanted to follow in my path." He shook his head, a light smile on his face. "I suppose Northstar wasn't going to take no for answer twice."

Sootwhisker shook his head. "No, not particularly." He said. "I never really had friends in the other clans."

Falcontalon nodded "I can understand that, and because of Cedarstar not wanting to be leader, I think it makes him a better one in the end. He has no greed for power."

"Me neither." Littlemoon shrugged lightly. "I just like going to hear how each Clan is doing. Though, I feel it's a lot of the same old 'don't show any weakness' charade that occurs over and over again." She shook her head.

Stormfury purred. "I'm sure they'll love you. Now come on, we're almost back to camp. You should eat before we go." He continued to pad through the pines. "Don't feel like you need to stick around me the whole night though."

Closesky nodded in agreement, he flicked his ear and glanced toward the medicine den where Ashrock was sitting outside of it. "Unlike some," he mewed flatly.

Whorlpaw nodded, happily skipping after him. "Ok! I'll probably dash off to find my siblings. Since it's our first gathering, we should share some of it together!"

"Yeah, gatherings can be quite a bore. But this one will be interesting to see how the other clans react to Cedarstar, I hope I can go just to see that." Sootwhisker said.

Falcon: OUCH )
Falcontalon winced slightly, "I-I didn't mean it like that, but I suppose so. You can't force your way to the top, you have to earn it."

Littlemoon nodded in agreement. "I hope the other Clans don't see Cedarstar as weak, though I'm worried. If he makes a mistake like he did during Whorlpaw's ceremony...there's no telling how the other Clans will react."
Closesky shook his head. "I know what you mean, Falcontalon, but that's what Ashrock tried to do: force his way to leadership. Perhaps if I payed more attention to him, he wouldn't have turned on Cedarstar like that. Those two were also so close, I was more shocked than anyone when the truth came out about what Ashrock had done."

Stormfury nodded. "Yes you should. Your first gathering is a special time, and I anticipate that your littermates will be just as excited as you." He pushed his way through the camp entrance. "Go get something to eat, and I'll find you before we leave for the gathering." He instructed.

Whorlpaw nodded back to him before darting off to get something from the fresh-kill pile.

Falcontalon hummed in thought, he wouldn't know what he would do if he found out one of his kits had betrayed one of their littermates like that. "You can't blame yourself Closesky, you raised them very well but each cat has their own personality and goals and unfortunately, sometimes they cloud their judgement far too much."

Closesky let out a sigh. "I suppose you're right. I just hope Ashrock learns his lesson and doesn't let his stubborn pride get in the way of growth."

Closesky padded outside the elder's den, looking around the camp with a heaviness on his face. He glanced down at Falcontalon. "Are you going tonight?" Cedarstar smiled softly down at his former apprentice. "Thank you, Cardinalblaze." He took a deep breath and looked about the camp. "I just don't want to let the Clan down. Northstar made us the strongest Clan in the forest--even ThunderClan respected us. I could ruin that tonight if I'm not careful. I almost ruined it the last gathering." He shook his head, paws trembling at the thought of address all five Clans at once. "Swiftstar proved himself a bold leader his first gathering...I don't want to make his mistakes, but I don't want to leave a bad impression either." “You saying a word or two wrong doesn’t change the fact that Shadowclan is strong. We won’t be intimidated by anyone.” Cardinalblaze assured firmly. “We’re behind you, and we fight and defend Shadowclan just as strong as before. You have never let me down, and I know in the end, you won’t let Shadowclan down. This is your clan. Show them that you lead it.” He gave a nod.

Stormfury settled down near Cloudscar who had just finished telling the clan who was going to the gathering. The two toms spoke quietly to each other, Stormfury telling the deputy about his trip with Whorlpaw.

Falcontalon glanced over to the medicine cat den "Well, the clan will certainly be keeping their eyes on him more than before."
